    The first time it shoulbe be 100a , 2nd time 100b, third time:100c..so on

    I store the the following values in table called CustomerActivity..so Ic an check the previous value from this table. It the most recent was 100c the next tag sgould be 100d and when it reaches 100z it should be 100aa again.
